RONKONKOMA, N.Y., April 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today the sale of 12
QuickCheck(TM) library patron self service kiosks to the University of
Alberta valued at $172,000.
QuickCheck(TM) operates in a similar fashion to a bank ATM. Patrons
gain access to the library's circulation software via a user card and touch
screen video monitor. A barcode or RFID chip on the book is read, the
security feature deactivated and a receipt is printed identifying the
titles of the books borrowed and the return date. Once the process is
complete, the patron exits the library through the security system without
any intervention from library staff. The entire process is fast, user
friendly and frees library staff from the circulation desk to perform
higher level tasks. The system includes statistical usage reporting as well
as remote diagnostics and hardware management software.
The systems at the University of Alberta are configured with a new
feature that will identify if more than one item is being checked out by a
patron. This innovation will prevent a thief from using QuickCheck(TM) to
borrow an item that has been recorded by the circulation software while
hiding other items underneath the one that is properly registered.
"QuickCheck(TM) continues to be recognized as a market leading product
by libraries across North America," said Peter L. Murdoch, President and
CEO of Sentry Technology Corporation. "We have sold more than 200 units and
have orders to build 50 additional systems for all types of libraries that
will benefit from greater efficiency and lower labor costs resulting from
the use of QuickCheck(TM)."
Sentry Technology Corporation designs, manufactures, sells and installs
a complete line of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solutions,
Electro-Magnetic (EM) and RFID based Library Management systems as well as
Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Magnetic (EM) EAS systems. The CCTV
product line features SentryVision(R), SmartTrack, a proprietary, patented
traveling Surveillance System. The Company's products are used by libraries
to secure inventory and improve operating efficiency, by retailers to deter
shoplifting and internal theft and by industrial and institutional
customers to protect assets and people. For further information, please
